Billie Eilish took off her shirt during a concert in rejection of those who criticize her for her appearance
Californian singer Billie Eilish began her grand world tour in Miami with a strong message against "body shaming."
The young star, who usually wears baggy outfits, showed on a giant screen at the beginning of the show how she takes off her clothes, until she stays in a bodice, and accompanied the images with a message to those who criticize her.
In the past, she said she had conflicts with her body, so she decided to wear loose clothing during her shows (and most of the time) to go unnoticed by some comments that could hurt her.
Billie had to distance herself from social networks because some criticism led her to have depression (among other reasons). A few years ago, her participation in social networks was much more frequent and close with her fans, but for reasons of personal well-being she decided to distance herself from the networks and now participates less frequently.
With all this personal situation behind, she decided to give a strong message against those who criticize her and thus feel more secure with who she is without having to hide it.
In the narration accompanying the video, she talks about this: “Would you like it to be smaller? Weaker? Softer? Highest? Do you want me to be quiet? Do my shoulders provoke you? My chest? Am I my stomach? My hips? The body I was born with, isn't that what you wanted? »
The video with the complete "prelude".
“You have opinions about my opinions, about my music, about my clothes, about my body. Some people hate what I wear, others praise it
Would you like it to be smaller? Weaker? Softer? Highest? Do you want me to be quiet? Do my shoulders provoke you? My chest? Am I my stomach? My hips? The body I was born with, isn't that what you wanted?
If I wear something that is comfortable, I am not a woman. If I take off my capes, I'm a whore. Even though you have never seen my body, you keep judging it and judging me for it. Why? "She said, ending her message with a question:" Is my value based only on your perception or is your opinion of me not my responsibility? "
